Quantitative Calculation Method of Crack Tip Strain Rate Based on Crack-Tip Creep
摘要
Welded structure’s stress corrosion cracking (SCC) is the primary environmental damage phenomenon in water reactors, and the crack-tip strain rate is the most important mechanical parameter, but quantitative evaluation is very difficult. This paper establishes a numerical model of SCC crack-tip creep using compact tension specimens, analyzing various macrostructural parameters, including the effects of mechanical parameters influencing material plasticity and the variation in crack-tip stress intensity factors on crack-tip creep behavior. The functional relationship between macrostructural parameters and the crack-tip creep rate has been established, and a quantitative calculation method based on crack-tip creep has been developed, laying the foundation for the predictive capability of the SCC model.
